Its's like getting hit so many times that you become numb or dead to even pain as well as pleasure. Even what may seem harmless, if repeated thoughtlessly, can be hurtful. It reminds me to be more vigilant and attentive to what I say and do. The format of the piece lends itself that association in my opinion.

Words rocking me, one after another...
Thoughts speaking to me, one after another...
of things we've done or said
awake or in bed
while others have bled
for daring to tread
where we thoughtlessly go
and fail consciously know
the harm that we inevitably throw
again and again
one after another after another after another...

I agree with Heather. Sometimes words just slip from our tongues, before we get to edit, and all you can do is hope that if when they do come out wrong the person on the receiving end will be forgiving enough to allow you another chance to speak more carefully.
I enjoyed reading. It would be interesting to see how it would read if you broke the poem up into verses, instead of as one continuous verse.

Heather, your poem states in no idle words, what all of us have done at one time or another. Wonderful write.
